Public sector jobs should be open to the public. The public sector
belongs to all of us and the public should have a right to apply for
any protected plum jobs.

Right - so the important bit is not the best person for the job? Just any
old layabout who likes the idea of a decent salary?


You can't always get the best person for the job if you limit it to a
subset like union members.
Having applications open to everyone doesn't mean you have to employ the
worst.
Restricting it like that just gets you the worst case.
